The Woman's Club of Linthicum Heights recently celebrated a year of accomplishments and accolades at its luncheon at the Chartwell Country Club.

President Celeste Riddle introduced Christopher Benson, the 1994 Hugh O'Brien Youth Foundation Leadership Training Program representative sponsored by the club. The North County High School student spoke about his experiences in the program.

Riddle noted that the club's civic activities were recognized this year by the Maryland Federation of Woman's Clubs at its state convention. The club received many honors, including the prestigious "Save the Bay Award."

Two students who won the club's writing contest went on to win prizes at the state level. In the poetry competition, first place for grades four to six went to Jonathan Maurath, and second place in grades 10 to 12 went to Hae Sung Yoon.

* Look for nearly new items Saturday, at the Linthicum Treasure Chest sponsored by the club. The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at their clubhouse, 110 N. Hammonds Ferry Road.

Come for bargains, food and fun. You might find just the treasure you're looking for: books, jewelry, old glassware, toys, plants and Christmas items. No clothing will be sold.

Take the edge off your hunger with pit-beef sandwiches, hot dogs (plain or with chili), lemonade, iced tea and baked goods.

Children can have their faces painted or take part in other activities.

Susan White-Bowden's book, "From a Healing Heart," will be sold.
